Judge Elwell also held that the 18th sec |
tion Of the Act Of May 10, 1887, is uncon.
stituhonal. This section Is as follows
That II shall not be lawful for any person
with or without license TO furnish by sale,
gift or otherwise to any person any spiritu-
Gus, vinous, malt or brewed liquors, on any
day upon which elections are now or here.
after may be required to be held, nor on
Sunday, nor at any time to a minor, or a
person Of known incorporate habits, or a
person visibly affected by the use Of intox-
icating drink, either for his or her use, or
for the use Of any other person, or to sell
or furnish liquors to any person on pass
book or order on store, or to receive from
or provisions in exchange for liquors, shall
be held and deemed misdemeanor, and
upon conviction the offender shall be fined
not less than fifty or more than five hun
dred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment
Of not less than twenty or more than ninety
days"
Its nconstitutionality is declared on the
ground that the title Of the act is defective,
it being "To restrain and regulate the sale |
OF viDous and spirituous, malt or brewed
liquors, or any admixtures thereof" Sec
ton II imposes penalty for furnishing
''by sale, gift or otherwise" which is not
covered by the title This does not affect
the general subject, however, as the act of
1854 is still In force, and under 1t any one
may be indicted for selling to minors, &c.
